Marcel directed the full scale re-positioning of family real estate assets until forming Chevron Partners with longtime friends and colleagues from France. Previously, Marcel was a practicing attorney at the law firms of Sidley Austin LLP and Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston & Rosen P.C. in New York City, where he focused his practice on real estate finance.
